REAL ESTATE sWINDLERs.
They Have Been Doing a Good
Business at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-An action of tres.
pass on a case for $4,000 was filed in the
circuit court this morning, in which al
legations of most sensational charac-
ter are preferred against John +. Lat.
shaw, Samuel B. Husselman and Rich
ard w. Robinson. The plaintiffs are
Andrew e., William E., Elias and James
Payne. The cause of action was Started
by their attorneys as follows: The
Paynes owned mill at Hennepin, Il.a
and in answer to an advertisements
which appeared in Chicago paper and
tiOns for exchanging this mill for %
Kentucky farm. The advertiser, Brad
shaw" was John f. Latshaw and he
represented himself to be the owner of
the farm. On showing what was ap-
parently satisfactory title to the farms
the Paynes gave him title to the mill
in exchange for this property. Shortly
afterward another trade was made
by which the Paynes transferred
to Latshaw another mill at Firth, Neb..
for certain Hyde Park real estate. After
the transfer had all been made, and the
mills had been converted into ready
cash by Latshaw, the Paynes allege
that they discovered that LatShaw had
no title whatever to either the Kentucky
farm OF the Hyde Park real estate. The
abstract to the Hyde Park property was
made out by Richard w. Robinson, and.
it is said to be bogus in every particular.
Attorney RexfOrd states that his clients
have information to the effect that Lat
shaw, HaSSelman and Robinson are
members of one and the same gang
which has been doing this kind of busi-
ness for long time, and have thus far
escaped detection.

An Assertion That He is Still in
Canada.

ST. GATHERINGS, Ont, Aug. 6.-Mc-
Garigle is still hidden in st. Catherines.3
There is no warrant here for his arrest,
and none is likely to come to hand for,
some days. The Baxter case has fallen
through and will not be heard from
again. Unless forgery scheme works
from Chicago McGarigle will have
peace and quietness. 1t is claimed
that there is an attempt to
be made to kidnap him under
the management of detective. He is
well guarded. however, and his friends
have no anxiety on this head; Fred st.
John has been at Niagara Falls. and this
gives little color to the rumor that Nc.
Garigle has made his escape by the suS-
pension bridge Ell route for Europe, but
there is no truth in it. No cOmmunica-
ton from Washington authorities has
been received by the government in re-.
gard to McGarigle. The impression pre-,
walls in official circles that several Of
the minor OffenSeS with which he is
charged are eXtraditable.
OTHERS IMPLICATED.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Levi Dell, of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons.
said to be implicated with DR.. st. John
in the escape of McGarigle, was brought
into court this morning from sick bed.
Dell said he was yet very ill, but wanted
to have the thing over with. The case
was continued until September at the
states request, Dell being released on
bail of $1,000. 1t is said four men were
concerned in planning and aiding the
escape, and that the two besides ST.
John and Dell will be arrested in a few
days.

ingng the unfortunate from drowning.
The list of casualties is as follows:

this morning because they did not re-

The strikers are nearly all boys, who
have been urged to the action by older
persons. They claim that the company
has been forcing them to work from
one-half hour to two hours daily with
cut remuneration. The present move
ment is hacked by the miners, who are
watching the mine, and swear they will
allow TO scabS or black-legs to go below.
Fears are entertained that if any at
tempt is made to send others into the
mine trouble will follow. The strike of
the boys causes an entire stoppage of
work in the colliery.

New YORK, Aug. 6.-There are a

rainy days, and very ingenious one it
is. They get an umbrella each, and,

frequented stations of the elevated
roads, sing out: ''Take you homes
cents first block" OF course, they find
a great many ladies and gentlemen who
have ventured out without umbrellas,
and who are glad to get to their homes,
probably short distance away, in such
a cheap way. Although the boys charge
5 cents for the first block, they rarely
get more than or cents for each sue
ceeding block, and most of them are
willing to travel four or five blocks for
dime. During the frightfully hot month
of July these boys extended their bust
ness by escorting people along sunny
streets for similar fee. Such engage
ments are profitable, because the best
patrons, ladies, usually want to go only
a block, and sometimes only half that
